Wow!

Guess I better stick with Vernier calipers then. I have a pair of Starrett digital calipers at work. First Starrett tool I have used. Seems nice compared to everything else I have used. Didn't look to see where it was made.

I am just an enginerd, though. Not a machinist, so it isn't a big deal if it is a thou off since it is for reference only.
